Alsina also recently revealed in an interview with Jada Pinkett Smith that he is battling liver disease, telling her “I’m sick all the time.”

Alsina’s health situation also led the “I Luv This Shit” hitmaker to miss his set at the Essence Fest in New Orleans on Sunday night. At present, he is due to return to the road in mid-August, starting with a performance on August 18th at the Rialto in Tucson, Az.
